About Canine Scholars Dog Training

Not training your dog is like not educating your kid, all you end up with is a heedless and troublesome brat that no one can stand. The good news: dogs want to listen, you just need to learn to speak their language. And no, we’re not talking about that ridiculous dog whispering your grandmother swears by. These days, there are amazing new methods for raising dogs who behave like they went to Harvard. In psychology 101 terms its know as operant and classical conditioning, and in real life terms it’s known as “do something good and you’ll be rewarded.”

There aren't enough stars to give Canine Scholars! We did their in-home training sessions with our American Bully, T-Rex. They helped him build confidence, master commands and ultimately had him walking off leash at the end of our training together. Their ability to explain the training process and psychology was easy for us to understand how dogs process and think. Again, we can't say enough good things about their training and program!

We brought our Brittany, named Ruby, to Canine Scholars in October 2024 for their two week adult board and train. Ruby was ~9 months old and we were having a lot of trouble raising and training a working dog, especially since she was also each of ours first dog! Ruby came back so well trained from Chris and the others at Canine Scholars and we genuinely had a sigh of relief. Chris has also been our go to “first responder” over the last year and a half whenever we have questions or concerns about Ruby’s training / personality / etc. With consistent training and using the techniques Chris taught us, her obedience keeps improving and it’s so fun to watch :) We’re planning to get a new puppy (another Brittany) within the next year or so and there’s no doubt we will be sending the new pup to Canine Scholars!! Here are some cool pics of Ruby’s place training

Owner is so rude! He makes so many comments about the client that have nothing to do with dog training. Not only that but he had my dogs shock collar almost to the max setting and traumatized my dog to the point of hiding and whimpering behind my family. I seriously can’t stand this man and would not recommend this business to anyone. My dog acts the exact same after the training and if anything is doing worse than before i brought him to this business. Only rated one star because I had to to make this review.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with Canine Scholars. Jason is knowledgeable, patient, and thorough! He helped us work through leash pulling, reactivity, and off leash training. He really took the time to understand our dog’s personality and our goals and was always patient with answering all of our questions (which there was many!). The results have been incredible and he is always willing to help when more questions come up. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, compassionate, and truly invested in your success, I highly recommend Jason. It was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our dog and our family!

We have been so happy with the board and train services our dog received with canine scholars. Pretraining, walks were getting nearly impossible due to constant pulling. Now, our dog walks perfectly with each member of our family, young kids included. The training has allowed us to include our dog in more activities making him truly a family dog and a member of our family.
